Longpi
Height: 22 in (55.88 cm)
Diameter: 8 in (20.32 cm)


Two arched lengths balance a circular tray, housing a Lingam, over-powered by that inverted hollow sitting above it. The marriage of primordial Indian Handicrafts with modern clay aesthetic brings forth a form, symmetrical in stature, the epitome of wabi-sabi.

A play of proportions within the composition, rises to form Longpi, from the Ukhrul District of the Indian state of Manipur. Days of sun-bathing the hand moulded forms, burnished by plant seeds, sets it forth in a kiln before it ensues solid, yet fragile, blackened to calculation with Chirono leaves. A conformation of perfect imperfection.
